Promises

Hikari looked at the four angels floating there in maid attire. Each one of them was staring at their hands and looking back at their white wings in astonishment. Each of them appeared almost like sisters with their short golden hair.

With the job done, the elven goddess recalled her own angel. She smiled towards the maids. "You're freed from the control of that man."

One of the maids floated in front of the other three. "Thank you. I never thought I would be able to see this day again. I never knew it was even possible…"

The woman struggled to keep her composure, but she bore it. Instead, she knelt in the sky, and the others followed suit. The one at the forefront spoke once more. "May I ask the name of our savior?"

The elf smiled. "You can just call me Hikari." She watched the eyes of the maids widen. "Have you heard this name?"

All of them shook their head, but their representative answered. "No, I've never heard of a goddess with such a name."
